Prologue

Barb had been away from Ponyville for a long time, ever since she had blossomed from a young, petite and cute dragon girl into a beautiful, mature and responsible dragon woman, her duties as friendship ambassador to the dragon lands, as "Barb the Brave and Glorious" in the Crystal Empire and as royal adviser to Princess Twilight in Canterlot had intensified to a point where she barely saw anyone back in her home town, let alone spend any actual time there. What made things worse however was that, although she had grown up quite a lot, she still held a candle for the one pony that, to her at least, was the most beautiful pony in the world, Rarity. No matter what she did, she just couldn't shake Rarity from her mind and every time she thought about Rarity, her heart still ached the same way it did all those years ago when she first laid eyes on her.

What Barb didn't realize was that although Rarity knew Barb was in love with her and had tried to resist her advances over the years, the first week that Barb was suddenly not around fawning all over her like a school girl, she missed her deeply. Rarity had pondered for hours why she was so emotional about Barb not being around, especially when she never reciprocated the affection and borderline rejected it at times almost to where she was accidentally cruel to the poor dragon. Rarity couldn't deny it, she had also developed an attraction to Barb and now she had missed her chance...... or had she? Nightmare Night in Ponyville was coming up, even Twilight with all her royal duties made time to make appearances at festivals with Barb in tow...... Rarity immediately started writing a letter to Barb.

Close in a Costume

A couple of days before Nightmare Night, Barb was sat next to Twilight after they'd had a lengthy conversation with the Sheriff of Trottingham when suddenly a letter burst forth from her mouth in a haze of green fire and dropped to the floor. Twilight assumed it must have been some kind of message to her from another kingdom and picked it up before unfurling the scroll, she was pleasantly surprised as she handed it to Barb and said "It's for you, though from the casual way the letter begins I'd say it's not from the dragon lands, plus that fancy hand-writing belongs to one pony in particular, do you remember-"

Twilight was interrupted as Barb just excitedly shrieked "Rarity!" Barb quickly opened up the scroll, it wasn't often that she got a letter from any of her friends back home, let alone the woman she was still obsessed with, as her eyes scanned the page she imagined how the words would sound if Rarity were reading it aloud.

"Dear Barb,

How are things going? No doubt you've been kept busy since last we met, however I do so hope you and Twilight will be visiting for the Nightmare Night festival, it will be such a treat to see you both. In fact, if you wouldn't mind Barb, I'd like you to come to my house when you arrive in Ponyville as I have a little surprise planned! Can't wait to see you.

Love,

Rarity"

Barb sighed happily and held the letter to her chest with a dreamy look on her face, though was broken out of her state when Twilight gave a loud *ahem* to get her attention before saying "When you're done I would rather like to know what the letter actually says as well... I can't believe you're still so infatuated with Rarity, forgive me Barb but... it just seems a little bit pathetic that you're still pining for her"

Barb just shrugged and said "The heart wants what it wants, besides she was just asking if we're going to Ponyville for Nightmare Night"

Twilight raised an eyebrow and went "Really? That's all she was asking? Huh, well she must know that despite our responsibilities we usually make time to visit during special events, but if she really wants to know then yes. Take a letter Barb!" Some things never changed, Barb wrote every word that Twilight recited in her reply to Rarity's letter on a blank piece of parchment then blew some green flames across it until it disappeared, successfully delivered to Rarity, who jumped for joy upon hearing she'd soon be seeing Barb again. Rarity got to work on the costume she intended to wear on Nightmare Night, a costume that would ensure that she and Barb would be very close, she couldn't guarantee that she'd be able to successfully court Barb, it had been a few years and she wasn't sure if Barb had moved on or had someone else, but she was going to make the most of her company anyway, even if only as a friend.

Nightmare Night came and the second that the sun went down, Twilight and Barb were stepping off the train, hit with a wave of nostalgia for the town they used to live in, it looked exactly as wonderful and quaint as it had always looked since they first arrived all that time ago. Twilight took in a deep breath and let it out as she said "Ah, it's always so nice to come back here and leave the royal duties behind for once, I'm glad that everyone still treats me the same way they treated me before I became a princess. So what do you wanna do first Barb?"

Barb, rather eagerly went "Well, Rarity said in her letter that she had a surprise for me so I guess I better go to the boutique and find out what it is!" Twilight just rolled her eyes as Barb sped off in the direction of Rarity's house while she meandered off to check out what kind of cool costumes people were wearing. As Barb rushed her way through the crowd to get to Rarity's as soon as possible, she took no note of who she was rushing past or what they were wearing, her eyes completely focused on the building that housed the woman she crushed on harder than any crushes she had ever had, true that Rarity was the only crush she had ever had but that didn't matter, she was about to see Rarity! As soon as Barb was a few meters away from the front door, she practically threw herself at it and knocked, sweat rolling over every contour of her scaly body, she was shaking with anticipation and excitement, not to mention being incredibly nervous.

A few seconds passed before she heard Rarity call out "The door is open dear! Come on in! You're a little earlier than I expected but no matter, make yourself comfortable!" Barb let herself in and closed the door behind her, the suspense of once again seeing Rarity was killing her, it had been far too long and she wanted to spend as much time with Rarity as possible and make the most out of it. Barb looked around, the boutique was exactly how she remembered it, the sound of high heel shoes clicking on the floor and progressively getting louder the closer the woman wearing them got pulled Barb out of her daydream as she turned to see something that almost made her jaw drop, her eyes widened, her heart fluttered and truth be told... her groin tingled as Rarity came into view, she was so shocked by the sight that she swore she could almost faint, somehow Rarity was even more attractive than before.

The Rarity that Barb was met with wasn't the same Rarity she remembered, she had put on a considerable amount of weight, no doubt from her habit of endlessly eating entire tubs of ice cream for comfort whenever she was sad, thought this more chubby version of Rarity was actually far sexier to Barb than the slim version. Her breasts were positively huge, so huge that they almost sagged from the weight of the thick tit flesh, her hips were so wide that they rivaled the motherly child-bearing hips of Mrs.Cake, which went some way to explaining Rarity's gargantuan ass cheeks, the sides of them slightly visible despite the fact that Barb was seeing Rarity from a head-on point of view. What was probably the most surprising though was her attire, or more specifically, the sheer lack of it, Barb had never really had to wear clothes because her scaly skin hid her genitalia enough that it wasn't considered indecent for her to be naked, even with her curvaceous figure and generous bust still noticeable, but ponies had no such luxury. Rarity was wearing thigh-high jet black stockings and shoulder length jet black gloves, the rest of her body was bare, meaning Barb had an unadulterated view of Rarity's chest and her... more private area.

Rarity seemed oblivious as she went "Barb! It's great to see you!" Barb stood stock still as Rarity ran forward, every inch of her delicious body jiggling and wobbling as she ran forward and embraced Barb in a big hug, instantly smooshing Barb's face into her cleavage. Barb was bright red as she allowed the large melons to partially suffocate her as she returned the hug, the both of them relishing the feeling of being in each others arms, the hug lasting much longer than a hug between two friends would ordinarily last. Eventually they both found the strength to separate from each other, Rarity cleared her throat with a big blush on her face as she said "It is lovely to see you Barb, though please forgive my nudity, like I said, you arrived a tad earlier than I expected. I hope I've not made you uncomfortable, we're both women after all, nothing we haven't seen before! Plus, you're always in the buff, far be it from me to dislike clothing but it must be so freeing to not have your body covered in constrictive or clingy fabric, especially with your rather smooth and, if you don't mind my saying, voluptuous figure"

Barb shook herself out of her state of frozen shock and went "Um... well, n-no problem Rarity! It's nice to see you too, I mean it would be just as nice if you weren't naked obviously! I'm not saying th-that I... well, y'know... I er... is this... is this the s-s-surprise?"

Rarity gave an over-dramatic gasp and said "Why Barb, are you assuming that I'm attempting to seduce you?"

Barb panicked as she went "No no no! I mean... maybe? I'm not assuming... I just, well I didn't expect it and I... I wondered.... no, I thought... Rarity I-"

Rarity interrupted as she pressed a finger to Barb's lips and said "Barb honey, calm down and relax... me being naked is not the surprise by the way, in fact quite the opposite! You see I'm going to a costume party that Pinkie Pie has organized and I thought I'd bring you along as my plus one! Which gave me the chance to think up a simply fabulous costume that we can both wear! The surprise is the costume and the party, not my body. Now before I show you the costume, shall we chat for a bit and catch up? Can I get you anything? A coffee perhaps?"

Rarity removed her finger from Barb's lips and sat down on the couch, Barb joined her and said "No thanks Rarity, there's probably going to be lots of food and drink at the party. How did Pinkie organize it, what with being a mother and everything?"

Rarity said "Oh well it was not easy, she had to be pull a few strings let me tell you that, it's lucky that her husband is so patient with her, then again they are both very energetic people so it makes sense they'd understand each other and the effort that goes into a party so well. I believe her sister Maud is babysitting. How have things for you been? Any developments with all the duties you have, perchance a bit of gossip?"

Barb gave a little giggle "Well I don't have much interesting to say in a political sense, but gossip... now that is something I have in spades! The best one I can think of is that Flurry Heart has now hit the 18th birthday milestone and the rumor is that ever since, she's become quite popular among the boys!"

Rarity widened her eyes "No! Sweet little Flurry? Being... friendly with them? How naughty! I'm assuming the boys initiated it"

Barb nodded and said "Well the story goes that she was quite encouraging, though I'm certain the boys did start it, every time I visit a kingdom the guys can't keep their eyes on my face when they talk to me and some of them have even flat out just said "have sex with me" without so much as attempting some kind of courtship"

Rarity smiled and went "Well that must be nice to get that kind of attention, I used to get that before I let myself go and, well, became this big blubbery woman that you see before you"

Without thinking, Barb just went "No! Don't be silly! I mean I think you're gorgeous and you're so sexually attractive! I mean I would totally... in...... a bed........ I er...", Barb caught herself with what she was about to say but didn't see any way of getting out of it.

Luckily Rarity laughed it off and said "You're too kind Barb. Anyway, let me show you the costume I've prepared! It's simply marvelous!" Rarity quickly made her way upstairs to retrieve the costume, leaving Barb to mentally scold herself and pull herself together despite not being able to stop acknowledging the prickling heat in her crotch, her arousal refusing to be ignored. When Rarity said she had a costume for them both to wear, Barb assumed she meant they'd both be wearing the same costume or maybe they'd each have a costume that was similarly themed to the other, when Rarity came back down however, having taken the time to slip on a bra and some panties, Barb realized that it was actually one singular costume made specifically to be worn by two people at the same time. The costume itself was a one piece knee-length dress the same jet black color as Rarity's gloves and stockings, it had puffy shoulders and two turtle neck collars as well as long sleeves, which made Barb slightly question what the exceedingly long gloves were adding if there were already long sleeves on this bizarre costume. Rarity said "We'll be wearing this together! I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of getting some gloves, stockings and high heels in your size to complete the ensemble, you don't mind wearing clothes do you?"

Barb blushed a little and went "No, n-no of course not! It's for the costume after all...", Barb decided to leave out the fact that because she never really wore clothes of any kind, deciding to put on something silky and provocative always made her feel more naughty, which often tended to coax out her inner minx. The other thought on Barb's mind was that if she and Rarity were going to be wearing this garment, then they'd be rather... close. Barb said "Will that thing fit both of us?"

Rarity inspected the costume and said "Well I did take my own measurements for it and then added on the measurements for another person... though I have to admit that it has been quite a long time since I've seen you and your... let's say "proportions" are a tad larger than I predicted, you are truly gifted when it comes to size in regards to your chest and derriere, so it may be a tad snug", Rarity chuckled as Barb resisted the urge to return the compliment and just smiled instead. Rarity put the costume to one side and handed Barb the gloves, stockings and high heels to put on before saying "Will you be wanting any make-up?"

Barb shook her head and said "No thanks, make-up doesn't really work on my skin all that well, one of the downsides of being a female reptile is that if you want any kind of aesthetic color to your skin then your only real option is body paint so that the color actually shows up and stays on your scales", Rarity shrugged and walked over to a nearby mirror to make sure her own make-up was up to scratch while Barb elegantly slid the gloves up her arms, the soft smooth material feeling almost weightless as it glided across her scales. Barb put on the stockings and high heels and stood still, squirming slightly as her pussy continued to throb, needy and demanding attention upon having received no physical stimulation at what was clearly a sexual situation no matter what the brain was saying.

Rarity turned to see Barb with all the basic accessories, she bounced up and down with excitement, most of her body bouncing with her as she went "Fabulous! Ready to see if the costume fits?" Rarity knew the costume would fit, the material was stretchy enough that they'd both fit even of they were very close, Rarity had been sure to design it that way, but Barb didn't know that and thus far hadn't had the good sense to question Rarity's apparent poor preparation. Rarity picked up the costume and got herself in it, pushing her head through the left collar and putting her arm through the left sleeve before beckoning Barb over to take her place in the right side of the dress, Barbs loins felt like they were on fire with lust. Barb had to basically squeeze herself into the costume, it was borderline skintight and she had to fight back her shudders of pleasure as her skin rubbed against Rarity's as she continued to get herself into the costume. When Barb finally poked her head through the collar and her right arm in the sleeve, it became very clear that she and Rarity couldn't have had their bodies any closer than if they were fucking. With no other places for their unsleeved arms to go, they simply settled for reaching an arm around each other and letting their hands rest on the hip, though with no visual clues to go by it came as no small surprise that Barb had misplaced her hand, which is why Rarity went "Barb dear, I think you'll find that my hip is a little higher than that on my body... at the moment you're just touching my... well......"

Barb realized that her hand was actually just gently grasping onto Rarity's left buttock, she let out a slight gasp and went "Oh g-gosh! Sorry about that..." before swiftly moving her hand further up until she felt the waistband of Rarity's panties, which gave her a more clear indication of where her hand was so that she could rest it on Rarity's hip... until she decided to be cheeky and smirked as she moved her hand back down to grab the titanic mass of ass and give it a squeeze before delivering and sharp slap.

Rarity let out a yelp of surprise before turning to Barb and saying "Goodness me Barb! That area is a tad sensitive! I'm all for a harmless little joke but some warning might have been nice!"

Barb just held back a laugh as she said "Aw come on Rarity, can you really blame me? I couldn't resist, though you are bound to have such a sensitive bottom with how huge it is"

Rarity feigned offense and went "Oh so I have a big behind? That's rich coming from a dragon who has her own fair share of junk in the trunk" and gave Barb's right butt cheek a swat. Barb let out her own squeal of shock when she felt Rarity's hand strike her rear, then they both shared a friendly laugh before Rarity eventually said "Well come on then, as much fun as it might be to stay here and playfully spank each other all night, we have a costume party to attend!" The two of them set off for Pinkie's place for the party, walking was initially tricky to get a hold of due to the costume refusing to let either off them get any distance between them, so their bodies were constantly rubbing against each other and though it wasn't an explicitly sensual or exotically sexual and erotic kind of rubbing, Barb was struggling to not show signs of her incredibly high libido at that point, she was more relaxed than before but paradoxically also more horny than before, her sex drive was only going to get tougher to tame the longer she remained pressed up against Rarity.

When they got to Pinkie's house they heard the booms of thumping party music, the hustle and bustle of a crowd and judging by the wails of ecstasy coming from one particular window, a couple had clearly found a moment where they went unnoticed and had made for the nearest empty room in the house to engage in some casual sex. The door opened to reveal Pinkie, looking as hyper as ever, her house filled with countless people, flashing colorful lights and no small amount of tables with a veritable smorgasbord of food and drink. Pinkie grinned wide as Rarity and Barb looked perplexed at her decision to dress up as Fluttershy for the party before saying "Rarity! Barb! Glad you could make it, killer costume! Come in, the party just got started!" The evening went as well as could be expected, plenty of high energy dancing, plenty of chatting, cool costumes and of course a few people broke away from the crowds in the hopes of sneaking off somewhere secluded in the house to hide and fuck, be it a horny couple or a one night stand. One thing that remained very consistent however was Barb, she was consistent in the sense that anytime she or Rarity moved, there was a feeling of euphoric bliss as their bodies continued to rub together and things only got more heated as the night went on.

At one point, Rarity and Barb were sampling some of the food that was on offer at the party, one of which was a simple plate of cupcakes that was all but finished. Rarity picked up the last cupcake and, upon seeing that Barb was disappointed on account of not having had any of them, Rarity saw an opportunity to be a little bit of a tease and said "Would you like to share this cupcake darling?"

Barb's face lit up a little as she nodded and said "Yes please", though Barb was surprised when, rather than handing her the cupcake, Rarity offered it up to her lips as if to feed the cupcake to her. Barb blushed, they had both been picking at the food and feeding themselves like everyone else had up until that point, feeding each other was something that wasn't inherently sexual but it was still an act that was perceived as being something that was only done by two people who were at least romantically involved or in a relationship. Seeing no way out of it, Barb tentatively brought her lips to the sweet treat and took a bite, Rarity had an extremely wry smile on her face as she then placed the same cupcake in Barb's hand and waited expectantly to be fed in the same manner. Barb nervously hovered the cupcake near Rarity's face and allowed her to take a bite, when Rarity had swallowed her mouthful, she took the cupcake back and then held the last bit of it in her teeth and wiggled her eyebrows at Barb, Barb sweated profusely as she realized that Rarity wanted her to take the remaining half in her teeth so that they would both be finishing the cupcake together with their lips dangerously close together in what would very almost be a kiss were it not for the fact that food was the only thing stopping their mouths meeting.

As Barb moved to take the other half of the cupcake in her mouth, she felt he nose press up against Rarity's and when she looked up, all she could see were two big beautiful blue eyes staring straight back into her own emerald ones, so focused and transfixed was Barb by those eyes that she hardly noticed that they had both finished their own respective halves of the cupcake, which was only highlighted when Rarity moved back and went a tad seductive as she over-exaggerated the way she licked her lips to clear them of crumbs. While Barb was frozen in that moment, she was shaken awake by the loud sounds of the song "Whatever It Takes" by the band "Imagine", one of the few bands where every member was a dragon, booming from the speakers. This time Rarity's face lit up, the timing was perfect as she quickly encouraged Barb to get onto the dance floor as she said "Let's have a dance Barb! It will be fun! This song is great for tango!"

Barb, utterly confused by how things were moving along so quickly, just went "Wait... t-tango? What do you-", Barb didn't get to finish her sentence as Rarity turned her body as much as she could to face Barb and took her hand, their generously sized jugs pressing up against each other. Barb gulped as she felt Rarity's nipples connect with her own pair through the thin fabric of her bra, Barb stammered and stuttered as she said "Rarity... I... i-i-it's o-our b-b-breasts... they're..."

Rarity just said "I know, just go with it, I'll lead shall I?" Barb didn't really get much choice as Rarity started off the dance before Barb had even properly prepared, not to mention that Barb had never danced the tango before and had no idea what she was doing. After a bit of fumbling, Barb managed to get into a rhythm and adapted to the dance moves Rarity was trying to coax her into, though she did feel a little embarrassed when the song came to a close as Rarity dipped her and lidded her eyes whilst biting her lip. They both stood back up as the song faded, after another hour or so people started to leave as the evening turned to night, late night turning to early morning, the party died down and both Rarity and Barb decided that it was as good a time as any to vacate and return to the boutique so that Barb could get ready to leave and head back to Canterlot with Twilight. As Rarity and Barb shuffled out of the costume in the still silent air of the boutique, there was a noticeable layer of tension, at the party they had both been fairly relaxed despite having spent the whole thing not being able to move one step without rubbing their bodies together but now that it was over, the awkwardness was back full force.

Rarity had offered to let Barb stay for the night so that she wouldn't have to travel too far to catch a ride back to Canterlot, even offering her a pair of her old pajamas to use. They both went about their nightly routine of getting ready for bed and then as they were about to go into their rooms, Barb turned to Rarity and said "Thanks for tonight Rarity... I had a really great night..."

Rarity smiled and went "Yeah.. me too...", Rarity was nervous, she knew what she wanted to say in order to voice her desire but was struggling to find the motivation to do it, there was a lot of pressure and stress on her to pick the correct words for what she needed to convey, it was only as Barb was about to enter the room that Rarity realized that the specific words didn't matter as long as she was honest, but if she didn't do it now then she'd never get the chance. Rarity panicked as she reached out, grabbed Barb's arm and went "Wait!" Barb looked at Rarity with a quizzical look before she was suddenly pulled into a hug. With tears in her eyes Rarity just whispered "Please... don't go..."

Barb said "Don't go?"

Rarity nodded as she allowed her feelings to pour out in her speech, a culmination of everything she had felt from the day Barb left until that very night, she held Barb tighter and said "For years... I kept pushing you away, you always made your feelings for me very clear and I still tried to constantly get you to stay away from me... even after I did that you still loved me. After a while, my attempts to keep you a reasonable distance away from me became second nature... it wasn't until you moved away and was suddenly never around anymore that I realized...... I realized I shared the same feelings... I love you Barb, please don't leave... stay here in Ponyville with me, please... I'm so sorry........."

Rarity waited with baited breath for Barb's response. Barb let everything sink in, her heart soared to hear that Rarity loved her back because her feelings were finally reciprocated, though at the same time it sank because she had responsibilities... could she really stay in Ponyville? The pause became longer and longer and longer... this was a big decision for Barb, finally she returned the hug and simply said "I'm not going anywhere"

The End
